Winger Oussama Assaidi made his name in Dutch football before joining the Brendan Rodgers project in August 2012. The Moroccan started out in the youth set-up at AZ before beginning his professional career in 2006-2007 with Dutch first division side FC Omniworld, where he scored three goals in 36 appearances and impressed enough to earn a move to top-flight De Graafschap in 2008. Some eye-catching displays helped Heerenveen climb away from the dropzone but it wasn't until 2010-11, when new coach Ron Jans was installed, that our new boy began to have a major impact in the final third.

he made his international debut as a substitute on February 9, 2011 againt Niger - replacing Adel Taarabt. In 2011-12 he would increase his goals tally by one, scoring 10 in 27 league games to prompt reported interest from clubs at the top of Dutch football and in the Premier League.
